Over 94% of the town's land is zoned for residential or open space, and 13% of the land is public park. The population of the town has been growing steadily since 2000. Part of the growth is due to its relatively cheaper housing prices compared to other parts of Westchester, and the building of many new developments, all the while within 1 hour of commute to NYC.
